Elk/Beaver Lake Sewer Connection Project Underway

Elk/Beaver Lake Sewer Connection Project Underway

Jul 27, 2017

Victoria, BC-The Capital Regional District (CRD) is constructing a sewer line at Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park and along Pipeline Road. This work will provide a future connection of the Beaver Beach and Filter Beds washroom facilities to the Saanich municipal sewer system.

Park visitors can expect intermittent delays and closures at various areas along the route (see map, attached), Monday to Friday during daytime hours, from August to October 2017. The washrooms remain open. Please use caution around crews and equipment.

Connecting to the municipal sewer system will enable these facilities to be open year-round to the public, reduce annual operating costs and eliminate the need to truck waste from these facilities. Appropriate measures are being taken to minimize impacts to park visitors and to the environment.

The CRD delivers regional, sub-regional and local services to 13 municipalities and three electoral areas on southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Governed by a 24-member Board of Directors, the CRD works collaboratively with First Nations and all levels of government to enable sustainable growth, foster community well-being, and develop cost-effective infrastructure while continuing to provide core services to residents throughout the region.
